Welcome to the 115th day of the year! Day 115 is a core third-season day. It is the third day of the third week in the third 49 days of the year. It is Day 17 in the third 49 days of year. It is April 25 in a clear year; and April 24 in a leap year. The Bible keys to understanding Day 115 are the third day of creation narrative, Psalm 115, the 17th book of the Bible; especially the third two chapters of the seventeenth book of the Bible.

Day 115 is a third day of creation day. On the third day of creation, God settled the water-dry-ground conflict by setting boundaries for the waters and causing the dry ground to appear. He also brought forth vegetation from dry ground by His word. ‘The third’ is the season of the last battle against the waters of oppression and wickedness. The third is also the season of the great conflict between platforms; it is the season when Heaven decides and chooses between platforms on earth. On the third day of creation, it was between the dry ground and the waters; in Genesis 3, it was between Adam and the Serpent; in Exodus 3, it was about Moses and Pharaoh; in First Samuel 3, it was about Samuel and Eli; in Esther 3, it was between Mordecai and Haman, on the third day of Queen Esther’s fast, it was for either Esther or the Persian Law; in Jonah 3, it was between the runaway prophet and the fish; in Matthew 3 (and also Luke 3), it was a choice between Jesus and John the Baptist; on the the third day following the crucifixion, it was about Jesus and the grave. Today (Day 115) is the third day of the third week in the third 49 days. Who gets the WIN today? I pray it’s you! The Gentiles will not say concerning, as in Psalm 115:2, “Where is their God?” Day 115 is the game-changing day in the 17th week and in the third 49 days of the year.

Day 115 is a Psalm 115 day. This is a psalm of conflict between worshippers of God and worshippers of idols. It is about “us and them”; “our God” and “their idols”. In this psalm, the psalmist calls on God to rise on behalf of His people – so that the Gentiles (idol worshippers) will not mock the people of God.

LORD, GIVE GLORY TO YOUR NAME: Psalm 115:1-2 says, “Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, But to Your name give glory, Because of Your mercy, Because of Your truth. [2] Why should the Gentiles say, “So where is their God?” The Lord must win the battle of the third season. It is for His glory – not ours.

OUR GOD AND THEIR IDOLS: Idols are nothing to be compared with our God. Whereas men are the handwork of God, idols are the work of men’s imagination and hands. They are lifeless and powerless. Those who make idols and trust in them are as powerless as their idols. Psalm 115:3-8 says, “But our God is in heaven; He does whatever He pleases. [4] Their idols are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands. [5] They have mouths, but they do not speak; Eyes they have, but they do not see; [6] They have ears, but they do not hear; Noses they have, but they do not smell; [7] They have hands, but they do not handle; Feet they have, but they do not walk; Nor do they mutter through their throat. [8] Those who make them are like them; So is everyone who trusts in them”.

TRUST IN THE LORD: God is the help and shield of all men – even those who do not know Him. If we trust in Him, He would withdraw His help and shield from our enemies. It we disregard God, He helps our enemies against us. Psalm 115:9-11 says, “O Israel, trust in the LORD; He is THEIR help and THEIR shield. [10] O house of Aaron, trust in the LORD; He is THEIR help and THEIR shield. [11] You who fear the LORD, trust in the LORD; He is THEIR help and THEIR shield”.

ASSURANCE OF GOD’S BLESSING AND PRAYER: The psalmist knows, from the past, that the Lord will bless His people in the present time. Psalm 115:12-15 says, “The LORD has been mindful of us; He will bless US; He will bless the house of ISRAEL; He will bless the house of AARON. [13] He will bless THOSE WHO FEAR THE LORD, Both small and great. [14] May the LORD give you increase more and more, You and your children. [15] May you be blessed by the LORD, Who made heaven and earth”.

ASSERTIONS AND ASSURANCE OF SAFETY AND VICTORY: The earth is the abode of man. To die is to leave the earth; and the dead cannot praise God. If we will bless the Lord from this time forth and forevermore, it means we must live on. Psalms 115: 16-17 says, “The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD’s; But the earth He has GIVEN to the children of men. [17] The dead do not praise the LORD, Nor any who go down into silence. [18] But we will bless the LORD From this time forth and forevermore. Praise the LORD!” If we must praise God, then God must keep us alive. Day 115 is a day of protest against the spirit of death that seeks to stop God’s people from praising God.

Day 115 is an Esther 5-6 day in the 17th week. The third two chapters of the seventeenth book of the Bible is applicable to the third day of the seventeenth week of the year. In the fifth chapter of Esther, the Jewish queen obtained favor from the Persian king. The Law of the land was set aside and Esther was admitted before the king without invitation. What should have resulted in a death sentence, opened the heart of the king to her. Day 115 is a day of favor. It is a day for things that should not be to be. It is a day when those who should die are turned to life. It is a day when those who have the least chance are given the largest room. It is a day when the norm is suspended in favor of the least deserving. This is a day to celebrate the everlasting truth of the Lord; and His great merciful kindness towards us. Haman attended Esther’s party with the king – not knowing that things had changed. He was even misadvised to make a gallows for Mordecai. In the sixth chapter of Esther, Haman began to go down as the king honored Mordecai according to Haman’s unwitting recommendation. He suffered the shame of his life on that day. Esther 6:13 says, “When Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened to him, his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish descent, you will not prevail against him but will surely fall before him.” This is promotion day for hidden and forgotten people. It is a day of honor for those who trust in God; and a day of shame and humiliation for the proud and wicked.

Day 115 is death’s day of visitation when it’s cruel hands are tied and weakened. It is a day for God to arise against the plans of the wicked to kill and destroy. It is a day to overthrow death and agents of death. Today, the Lord will preserve you and beat down your adversary.

Day 115 is Ecclesiastes – Amos Day in the 17th week. Going through any week is like taking a journey through the Bible. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The third day of the week is the third day in the Old Testament side of the week; and expresses the third 10 books of the Old Testament and the Bible. In the third 10 books of the Bible, God sent His prophets to speak to the people. They confronted the people, warned them against judgment, comforted the faithful, and brought judgment on the arrogant. The third day is for the overthrow of the rebellious and establishment of the humble and just. How you fare in this season depends on your attitude and response to the word of God. This is a day of prophetic confrontation and judgment.

DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. This is a day of manifestation. Do not be afraid to take a stand for the Lord. It is a season to come out of hiding and obscurity. It is a day to overthrow oppression and the oppressor. It is a day to establish the humble. Today, decree the downfall of the wicked and the lifting and establishment of the just. Today, prophesy an end to something in your life, family, business, community, and nation. Today, be ready to hear His voice and respond by faith. Expect breakthrough. Be willing to sacrifice. Walk by faith! This is a day of breakthrough and pushing through barriers in the week. This is a day of unveiling. It is a day of answers to prayers. Today, pray for the overthrow of dysfunctional systems in the nations and in the church. Pray that God will make a way for the manifestation of hidden platforms and producers. Pray also that the forgotten functional people and things be remembered, recognized, and restored. Today, remember that when God delivers and manifests, it is for service and production. Do not consume His mercy on your lust. On this third day of the week, the oppressor will go down and the humble shall be delivered. Happy third day of the week!

Happy 115th day!

Welcome to Day 114! Day 114 is a second season day. It is the second day of the seventeenth week of the year. It is also the sixteenth day in the third 49 days. It is April 24 in a clear year; and April 23 in a leap year. Bible keys to understanding Day 114 are the second day of creation narrative, Psalm 114, and the second chapter of the seventeenth book of the Bible. 

Day 114 is a second day of creation day in the 17th week. On the second day of creation, God made a way where there is no way; when He made the firmament to divide the bloc of waters. There was no space for anything else to exist before that day. On this 114th day of the year, God will make a way for you where there is no way.

Day 114 is a Psalm 114 day. This psalm draws attention to the potency and power of God’s presence; demonstrated in the parting of waters for Israel to cross and in the provision of water from dry rock.

THE MYSTERY OF THE DOMINION AND SANCTUARY 

Psalm 114:1-6 says, “When Israel went out of Egypt, The house of Jacob from a people of strange language, [2] Judah became His sanctuary, and Israel His dominion”.[3] The sea saw it and fled; Jordan turned back. [4] The mountains skipped like rams, The little hills like lambs. [5] What ails you, O sea, that you fled? O Jordan, that you turned back? [6] O mountains, that you skipped like rams? O little hills, like lambs? 

Nothing can stand in the way of the presence of God. The presence of God manifests in His sanctuary (where He is worshipped) and in His dominion (where He is served and obeyed).  When Israel left Egypt, they left the land as the sanctuary and dominion of God. The Lord lived in them and ruled in them. They worshipped Him and served Him. Mercy flowed from the sanctuary and authority flows from the dominion. The result was that the sea saw them and fled, Jordan turned back, the mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like lambs. On this 114th day of the year, let Psalm 114 be your testimony – that obstacles fled before you too.

The presence of the Lord makes the earth tremble and commands all forces to bow. Psalm 114:7-8 says, “Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob, [8] Who turned the rock into a pool of water, The flint into a fountain of waters”.

If we go with the presence of God (as His Sanctuary and Dominion) in the second season, nothing can stand in our way. All forces bow to the presence of God. Father, I pray, today, that the waters give way before me and all your people – in the name of Jesus.

Day 114 is Esther-3-4 day in the 17th week. The second two chapters of the seventeenth book of the Bible is applicable to the second day of the seventeenth week of the year. In the third chapter of Esther, Mordecai’s conflict with Haman began. Haman was promoted above all the king’s servants. The king also gave a command that all should bow to him. Mordecai refused to bow to him because of his faith. Haman was enraged and sought to destroy Mordecai and all Jews in the Persian kingdom. He got the king to sign and issue a decree that all Jews in all the Persian provinces would be killed on the thirteenth day of twelfth month. In the fourth chapter of the book of Esther, Mordecai began a one man protest against the Haman’s plot and the king’s decree. Esther 4:1-3 says, “When Mordecai learned all that had happened, he tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city. He cried out with a loud and bitter cry. [2] He went as far as the front of the king’s gate, for no one might enter the king’s gate clothed with sackcloth. [3] And in every province where the king’s command and decree arrived, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes”. Esther was troubled by Mordecai’s actions but did not understand what was happening until Mordecai ‘awakened her’ to the situation. He wanted her to go to the king and intervene; but it would be at the risk of her life to go to the king uninvited. She chose to fast with her maids for three days and three nights before going to the king; and wanted Mordecai and the Jews in Shushan to fast for her as well. The fasting was to prepare Esther to go before the king; and it didn’t matter to her if that would end her life. Day 114 is a day to battle evil monopolies through the power of God. It is a day to find or make a way where there’s no way. Day 114 is for those who believe and know that power belongs to God; and not to any man or spirit. 

Day 114 is a Book of Nehemiah Day in the third 49 days of the year. The sixteenth book of the Bible is applicable to the 16th day in the third 49 days. In the 16th book of the Bible, Nehemiah was moved by the ruined condition of Jerusalem and prayed to God until he received a vision to go and rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. He could not do that without the king’s permission and release; because he was the cupbearer of the king. God made a way where there was no way. The king learnt of the burden of his heart and gave needed permission and support to carry out what was on his heart. He was made the governor of Judah. Amid tense opposition from the adversaries of Judah, Nehemiah mobilized the people to rise and build the wall. The wall was completed in 52 days through the help of God; and to the shame of their adversaries. Nehemiah made arrangements for people to settle in Jerusalem so that proper worship can be carried on in the temple and city. Ezra the scribe was on hand to teach the Law in Israel. Nehemiah and Ezra led the restoration of true worship and separation in Judah. This 16th day in the third 49 days is a season of prayers. It is a season to bring the power of God to bear on tough earthly conditions- through prayer and worship.

Day 114 is a First Kings – to – Proverbs Day in the 17th week. Going through any week is like taking a journey through the Bible. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The second day of the week is the second day in the Old Testament side of the week; and expresses the second 10 books of the Old Testament and the Bible. In the second 10 books of the Bible, God wanted the kings of Israel to trust Him and lead the nation in the same direction. Beginning with Solomon, the kings of Israel began to patronize Idols. Idol worship became official in the northern kingdom following the split. Judah followed. Prophets rose in this season to call the nation back to God. Eventually, the two kingdoms went into captivity – the north fell to Assyria; and the south to the Babylonians. The Jews did return from captivity after 70 years. The last two books in this section of the Bible (Psalms and Proverbs) show that loss of faith in God is prelude to the loss of all things in the second season; but faith in God is the secret of power and strength. The faithful will triumph in the second season by the power and wisdom of God no matter what happens.

DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. Today, declare that your faith will not fail; and that the faithful will triumph. Decree the downfall of those who disregard God and trust in themselves or idols, Today, prophesy against evil controlling powers and overthrow them by the word of the Lord. Mercy makes a way where there is no way. Today is a day of divine intervention and mercy. Today, release the word of the Lord against oppressive mountains in your life and in your world. Raise a cry to God against the proud and wicked in the land. Today, trust God to make a way where there is no way. Proclaim His word, Pray to Him. Praise Him. May the Lord lead you to find a way where there is no way today. Happy 114th day!

BORN ON THIS DAY? You were born in this season for a reason.

Welcome to the 113th day of the year! Day 113 is the first day of the seventeenth week. It is the fifteenth day of the third 49 days. Day 113 is a first-season day. It is April 23 in a clear year and April 22 in a leap year. The Bible keys to understanding Day 113 are the first day of creation narrative, Psalm 113, and the first chapter of the seventeenth book of the Bible.

Day 113 is a first day of creation day. On the first day of creation, God brought Light into existence. The Light of the first day did not totally displace darkness. It reduced the dominion and prevalence of darkness. God also separated light from darkness. God is Light. He is the Light of the first season. In the first season, God is the focus. He is the Creator and Beginning of all beginnings. “The first is the Lord’s”. Day 113 is a day to focus on God – His name and person, His nature, His Word and His works.

Day 113 is a Psalm 113 day. This psalm draws every attention to God.  This psalm has three main sections. The first three verses call us to praise the name of the Lord. The second part, the next three verses, point us to the humility of God. The last three verses address the goodness of God in raising those of low degree.

A. PRAISE TO GOD’S NAME

Psalm 113:1-3 says “Praise the LORD! Praise, O servants of the LORD, Praise the name of the LORD! [2] Blessed be the name of the LORD From this time forth and forevermore! [3] From the rising of the sun to its going down The LORD’s name is to be praised. 

B. THE LOFTINESS AND HUMILITY OF GOD

Psalm 113:4-6 says “The LORD is high above all nations, His glory above the heavens. [5] Who is like the LORD our God, Who dwells on high, [6] Who humbles Himself to behold The things that are in the heavens and in the earth?”

C. THE GOODNESS OF GOD

Psalm 113:7-9 says “He raises the poor out of the dust, And lifts the needy out of the ash heap, [8] That He may seat him with princes- With the princes of His people. [9] He grants the barren woman a home, Like a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD!”

In the first season, especially, all credit goes to God. Day 113 is a day to reflect on the loftiness, lowliness, and loveliness of God.

Day 113 is an Esther 1-2 day in the 17th week. The first 2 chapters of the seventeenth book of the Bible is applicable to the first day of the seventeenth week of the year. In the first chapter of Esther, king Ahasuerus made a feast for all his officers and servants in the 127 Persian provinces in the third year of his reign – “when he showed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the splendor of his excellent majesty for many days, one hundred and eighty days in all”. In this chapter, there was a display of the king’s greatness, wealth, and generosity. The closing seven-day feast ended with dishonor. The Queen disobeyed the king publicly. A decree was made to replace her. In the second chapter of the book, God made a way for Esther and Mordecai in a foreign land. Esther was selected, from among many virgins, to be the queen – replacing Vashti. Everything that should have stood, or counted, against her, gave way. The emergence of Esther, against odds, was like the miraculous deliverance of Israel from Egypt. The death of Esther’s parents could not stop her. The crowd of virgins competing with her could not stop her. Her Jewish origin could not stop her. Those who plotted to kill her husband did not succeed. They were exposed and executed. Day 113 is a day of miraculous interventions that humbles the might and lofty. It is a day to turn dry rocks into fountains of water for God’s people. It is a day to dismantle and clear obstacles. You are unstoppable today. Expect a miracle. The Lord will do for you as He did for Israel coming out of Egyptian bondage; and as He did for Esther coming out of obscurity in Persia. The choice of Esther as the new Queen shows that God “raises the poor out of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the ash heap, that He may seat him with princes- with the princes of His people. (Who) grants the barren woman a home, like a joyful mother of children”; according to Psalm 113:7-9. Esther and Mordecai saved the life of the king. Day 113 is a day to showcase the magnanimity of God. It’s a day to enjoy God.

Day 113 is a book of Ezra day in the third 49 days of the year. The 15th book of the Bible is applicable to the 15th day of the third 49 days. In the 15th book of the Bible, king Cyrus freed the Jews from captivity and opened the door for Jews to return to their homeland and rebuild the temple at Jerusalem. Day 113 is a turning point in the third 49 days of the year. It is a day to return to rebuild the ruins.

Day 113 is a Genesis – Second Samuel day in the 17th week. This is a Genesis – Second Samuel day in the week. Going through any week is like taking a journey through the Bible. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side. The first four days of the week belong to the Old Testament side and express the 39 books of the Old Testament. The remaining three days of the week constitute the New Testament side and express the 27 books of the New Testament. The first day of the week is the beginning of the Old Testament side of the week; and expresses the first 10 books of the Old Testament and the Bible. In the first 10 books of the Bible, God revealed Himself as Creator and Caretaker. He chose those who aligned with His purpose for blessings; and reserved judgment for those who disregard Him. The first 10 books began with the creation and fall of the man in the image and likeness of God; and ended with the emergence of the man after God’s heart sitting on the throne of God’s choice nation. David was absolutely loyal to God. He gave himself for whatever God wanted. This is a day of aligning with God and becoming a man (woman) after His heart. Be available for God today.

DECREE AND DECLARE: God made us in His image and likeness to rule, have dominion, and impose His will on seasons; as He did with the seven days of creation. He decreed what He wanted for each day. We are to decree what is revealed concerning each day. Today, decree the collapse and end of expressions and manifestations of darkness in your life and world. Decree that expressions of light will triumph in this first day of the week. Today, make a quality decision to receive the word of the Lord and act on it without fear or doubts. Make a quality decision to walk in unconditional love. This is a day of sacrificial (tough) love. Today, take time to hear from God. Do not act without His direction. Follow what He says or shows. Today, seek the Lord against disasters in the week as you come into alignment. Call upon Him for mercy.! Happy 113th day.

Welcome to the 109th day of the year! Day 109 is the fourth day of the sixteenth week. It is the eleventh day of the third 49 days. It is a fourth-season day. Day 109 is April 19 in a clear year; and April 18 in a leap year. The Bible keys for understanding Day 109 are the fourth day of creation narrative, Psalm 109, and the fourth chapter of the sixteenth book of the Bible.

Day 109 is a fourth-day-of-creation day. On the fourth day of creation, God made the luminaries. The sun, moon, and stars, are silent (noiseless) influencers. However, the fourth season, is when men are prone to engaging their mouths for harm. Oh that men would learn to be os noiseless as the luminaries in fourth seasons. In the fourth seasons, action should speak louder than voice. It is a season of fasting, prayer, and meditation to release power without noise (noiseless power!). This fourth day of the week is a day of order. It is the bridge day in the week – the

Day 109 is a Nehemiah chapters 7-8 day in the 16th week. The fourth two chapters of the sixteenth book of the Bible is applicable to the fourth day of the sixteenth week. In the seventh and eight chapters of the 16th book of the Bible, Nehemiah began to organize the people and the city. In the seventh chapter, he took record of the people. In the 8th chapter, Ezra read the book of the Law to the people; and they were moved to return to the Lord with all their hearts. The people were heartbroken for the things they heard but they were encouraged to rejoice because that day was a new beginning for them.

Day 109 is Obadiah – Malachi season in the 16th week. The fourth division of the Bible (the last 9 books of the Old Testament) are applicable to the fourth day of the (16th) week. They are the bridge-books leading to the New Testament. They are books of recovery and reconstruction. They are books of preparation.

Day 109 is a Book of First Kings Day in the third 49 days of the year. The 11th book of the Bible is applicable to the 11th day in the third 49 days of the year. In the 11th book of the Bible, Solomon became king of Israel but fell below the Davidic standard of alignment with God. Israel prospered materially in the 11th book of the Bible but also declined spiritually in this book. Israel’s problem as a nation began in this book. The kingdom divided in this book. Idol worship became state religion in this book and affected Israel until the captivity. An unprecedented move of confrontational and judgmental revival also started in this book but it focused mainly on overthrowing the Advil system in the land. Ahijah the Shilonite, the man of God from Judah, Elijah the Tishbite, and Micaiah stood before God in this book. This was a tough season for prophetic voices in Israel. The kings, especially Ahab and his wife Jezebel, did everything to silence them. Many of them went into hiding to escape death. Day 109 is a day of trials and tests. It is a day to walk with great sensitivity and submission to divine counsel.

Day 109 is a Psalm 109 day. In Psalm 109, the psalmist calls on the Lord to rise to speak and act on his behalf – because of the treachery of the wicked. It is a call for vengeance.

Psalm 109:1-5 says, “Do not keep silent, O God of my praise! [2] For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful Have opened against me; They have spoken against me with a lying tongue. [3] They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, And fought against me without a cause. [4] In return for my love they are my accusers, But I give myself to prayer. [5] Thus they have rewarded me evil for good, And hatred for my love”.

The psalmist makes a 11-point demand from heaven against the wicked:

Psalm 109:6-20 says, 

1. [6] Set a wicked man over him, And let an accuser stand at his right hand. 

2. [7] When he is judged, let him be found guilty, And let his prayer become sin. 

3. [8] Let his days be few, And let another take his office. 

4. [9] Let his children be fatherless, And his wife a widow. 

5. [10] Let his children continually be vagabonds, and beg; Let them seek their bread also from their desolate places. 

6. [11] Let the creditor seize all that he has, And let strangers plunder his labor. 

7. [12] Let there be none to extend mercy to him, Nor let there be any to favor his fatherless children. 

8. [13] Let his posterity be cut off, And in the generation following let their name be blotted out. 

9. [14] Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD, And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out. [15] Let them be continually before the LORD, That He may cut off the memory of them from the earth; [16] Because he did not remember to show mercy, But persecuted the poor and needy man, That he might even slay the broken in heart.

10. [17] As he loved cursing, so let it come to him; As he did not delight in blessing, so let it be far from him. [18] As he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment, So let it enter his body like water, And like oil into his bones. [19] Let it be to him like the garment which covers him, And for a belt with which he girds himself continually. [20] Let this be the LORD’s reward to my accusers, And to those who speak evil against my person.

Psalm 109:28-29 continues, 

11. [28] Let them curse, but You bless; When they arise, let them be ashamed, But let Your servant rejoice. [29] Let my accusers be clothed with shame, And let them cover themselves with their own disgrace as with a mantle.

The psalmist makes a two-point mercy-demand from God for Himself in Psalm 109:21-27:

1. [21] But You, O GOD the Lord, Deal with me for Your name’s sake; Because Your mercy is good, deliver me. [22] For I am poor and needy, And my heart is wounded within me. [23] I am gone like a shadow when it lengthens; I am shaken off like a locust. [24] My knees are weak through fasting, And my flesh is feeble from lack of fatness. [25] I also have become a reproach to them; When they look at me, they shake their heads. 

2. [26] Help me, O LORD my God! Oh, save me according to Your mercy, [27] That they may know that this is Your hand- That You, LORD, have done it!

THE PSALMIST’S COMMITMENT TO PRAISE GOD 

Psalm 109:30-31: I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; Yes, I will praise Him among the multitude. [31] For He shall stand at the right hand of the poor, To save him from those who condemn him.

Psalm 109 reveals that Day 109 is a gate of time for both wickedness and vengeance against treachery. The gate-keepers of the day must occupy the gate of time and declare war against the wicked and treacherous in the land. This is a day for light to rise against darkness.

Day 109 is Obadiah – Malachi day in the 16th week. Every week is like a journey through the Bible. Every week has an Old Testament side and a New Testament side.

[2] Awake, lute and harp! I will awaken the dawn. [3] I will praise You, O LORD, among the peoples, And I will sing praises to You among the nations. [4] For Your mercy is great above the heavens, And Your truth reaches to the clouds. [5] Be exalted, O God, above the heavens, And Your glory above all the earth”.

[8] Gilead is Mine; Manasseh is Mine; Ephraim also is the helmet for My head; Judah is My lawgiver. [9] Moab is My washpot; Over Edom I will cast My shoe; Over Philistia I will triumph.” [10] Who will bring me into the strong city? Who will lead me to Edom? [11] Is it not You, O God, who cast us off? And You, O God, who did not go out with our armies? [12] Give us help from trouble, For the help of man is useless. [13] Through God we will do valiantly, For it is He who shall tread down our enemies”.
